Iranikulam Mahadeva Temple, Hindu temple in Thrissur district, India

The Iranikulam Mahadeva Temple features two primary shrines called Thekkadathappan and Vadakkedathappan, both dedicated to different manifestations of Lord Shiva.

Archaeological findings and inscriptions indicate the temple's construction dates back to the ninth century, with subsequent restoration work following its partial destruction in 1789.

The temple maintains traditional Kerala architectural elements, including a circular two-story sanctum adorned with carvings depicting over 500 different animals.

The temple stands 38 meters above sea level and sits approximately 7 kilometers south of Mala, 15 kilometers east of Kodungallur in Kerala's Thrissur district.

The southern shrine contains a sand Shivling where no water rituals take place, making it distinct among Kerala's religious structures.
